Does anyone know how to redirect the LPT1 port to a USB
port? I have an old DOS application that only prints to
lpt1. I need to print it out to a printer connected via
the USB port. Is it possible? Any help is appreciated.
 
OK. First share the printer. Then from a DOS prompt type "net use lpt1
\\computername\sharename" where Computer & Share names are for your computer
and printer.
